The same herbs and essential oils as are in Deep Tissue Oil. First the herbs are infused in olive oil, then melted beeswax is added to the infused oils and last of all the menthol crystals and essential oils are added. Deep Tissue Salve can be used for the same purposes as Deep Tissue Oil, but with less mess. Salve tends to be easier to apply and use, as it doesn't run off the skin or spill if the bottle is tipped.
